Gravitationally Induced Decoherence

Submitted by Web Services Editor on Tue, 04/01/2014 - 15:23

We are investigating the role that gravity plays as an environment in causing the rapid decoherence of matter superposition states. Our approach is based on the viewpoint that the standard perturbative quantization of general relativity provides an effective description of quantum gravity that is valid at ordinary energies.

Diversity and inclusivity are necessary partners. Without inclusivity, the benefits of diversity— an increase in understanding, improvement in performance, enhanced innovation, and heightened levels of satisfaction—will not be realized. We commit to investments in both, to create a community in which difference is valued, where each individual’s identity and contributions are treated with respect, and where differences lead to a strengthened identity for all.
